Kan. Admin. Regs. § 9-12-4 - Slaughter examinations
A minimum of two examinations each year, showing negative results for virus pig pneumonia and atrophic rhinitis, shall be required for pigs farrowed on a farm, in order to maintain SPF accreditation status. The examinations shall be conducted by a pathologist designated by the livestock sanitary commissioner.
Permission may be granted by the livestock sanitary commissioner or his authorized representative for an annual slaughter examination when the owner is farrowing only once each year. The slaughter examination shall consist of a minimum of seven animals per inspection; provided, that in small herds, a lesser number may be submitted for slaughter examination. Specific permission for slaughter examination for a lesser number shall be required from the livestock sanitary commissioner of Kansas, or his authorized representative.
One slaughter inspection showing negative results, shall be considered as a qualifying inspection for SPF accreditation; provided such pigs are those actually farrowed on the farm. Slaughter inspection dates and locations shall be designated by the livestock sanitary commissioner of Kansas, or his authorized representative.
